Something a bit different today.

Fancy trying your hand at willow weaving or a day of foraging, forest bathing, navigating the beautiful Galloway Hills? These are just a few of the activities/experiences on offer through Way of the Wild.

Mum and I recently spent a lovely day learning how to weave willow. Set in the magnificent Sorbie Tower, less than a 20 min drive from Courtyard Cottages, we enjoyed a tour of the grounds and Tower followed by a really enjoyable taster willow weaving session led by the lovely, very patient Christy. (And boy did we test that patience 🤣)

So if you're looking for something a wee bit different to do during your stay, take a look at what's on offer through wayofthewild.co.uk and get booked up! (Limited availability and very popular, so don't hang around!)

Some lovely feedback from recent guests 😊💗 Not to mention the bottle of fizz 😋🥂
So pleased everyone enjoyed their time with us

Let's talk reviews!

How many of us, when prompted to leave a review, whether it be on a product, an experience or a stay, just don't bother....?

Did you know, reviews can help drive businesses forward. Your feedback, warts and all, is invaluable in helping us identify areas in need of improvement or see what's going well in our business (as well as letting prospective guests see what to expect when they visit).

So next time you're prompted, please spare a minute and let us know what you think.

Thankyou so much to those of you who've given your feedback 😊
